This topic is fascinating to me, and researching it is what eventually sold me on the idea of trying CBD for myself and my family over a year ago.
Our bodies have an endocannabinoid system (ECS) which was not discovered until the 1990s. It’s another bodily system like your skeletal system, your vascular system, or your nervous system that modern medicine didn’t even know was there. Every mammal has a system of endocannabinoid receptors that are responsible for keeping the body in a state of balance and homeostasis.
Imagine your body as a Christmas tree and the ECS as the string of lights going around it. Throughout the season, some lights will stay bright, some will flicker, and some will go out completely. This is the same in your body. And it’s different for everyone based on factors such as your lifestyle, genetics, overall toxic load, any health conditions or symptoms you are suffering from, etc.
So these receptor sites are ready and waiting to accept cannabinoids to help them return to a state of balance and homeostasis. Our bodies immediately recognize CBD as a pure cannabinoid fit for this purpose.
Some people will notice transformative results right away with a small dose. Others will have to increase their dose over time to notice a difference. It just depends on each individual.
So what kinds of things can CBD help with?
I encourage you to google anything you can think of in conjunction with CBD, such as sleep, anxiety, depression, pain, autoimmune, skin/rashes, ADD/ADHD, arthritis, etc. We’re limited by the FDA in terms of claims we can make but there is no shortage of things that CBD is known to help with, and information is readily available.
There are hundreds of published scientific studies on CBD. This is way more than most pharmaceutical drugs! It’s incredibly well researched, well tolerated, and it has virtually no side effects even when used at very high doses. It has an amazing safety profile and can help just about anyone. Even your pets! Remember that every mammal has an endocannabinoid system. Many people give CBD to their dogs and cats during fireworks shows or other distressing events to help them stay calm.
If you have a specific question and are wondering whether CBD can help you, feel free to fill out my product match questionnaire, and ask me to send you some testimonials from our product Facebook group.
Even if you don’t have an acute or chronic condition you’re trying to solve, because the ECS is responsible for keeping our bodies in a state of balance and homeostasis, many people report feeling just that — with daily use, they feel more balanced and even, with general increased vitality. There’s really no downside to giving it a try!

When I first started using CBD, I had no intentions of starting a business. But after seeing the effects it has had on my kids, my husband, and myself, it felt like a no-brainer and such an easy thing to share.
